I was actually thinking Uncharted is on the better end of Sony's, often, lackluster marketing. It's the one franchise they actually advertise a good deal.

??

That makes it mediocre marketing, then. Sony's bad marketing is just pure horrid, their good marketing is just normal. They just can not keep up in the actual marketing end of sales and VG's. I'm pretty sure you know what I mean.

Another big factor will be if it releases in the holiday season. This could push sales A LOT.

Remember, the Wii U is coming out, several other big games are coming out, 3DS is really pushing for sales.

There are a lot of negative factors against it.



Nintendo fans won't don't overlap with the potential fans of this type of game.

Also, this holiday is not that crowded for the PS3 fanbase.

PS3 Fans like other companies just as much as some Ninty Fans do. No matter what the Company it'll still affect the other.

Wrong. Sony markets their 90+ titles well. (Uncharted, Gow of War, etc) Lately, anyway. Even Resistance 3 got some decent marketing & it was met with relatively low reviews by critics.

I do know what you mean, just not in the case of Uncharted. It's the one IP that they've marketed fairly well since Among Thieves. I even saw ads for Golden Abyss.

I never saw Ads for Golden Abyss, never. UC's Marketing is much better than most Sony marketing, it's still not good.

Then why was there not more commercials? More talk? I never see talk or tons of Ads for Sony games, it's like they just slide past, with decent sales. Just enough. (With the exception to some.)

I never said that. I said the fans of a game like this, not PS3 fans as a whole, won't be swayed by the introduction of new consoles. 3DS for example, was introduced last year. It was huge, yeah, but that didn't stop MW3, UC, GoW, Batman, The Elder Scrolls, Battlefield, etc to all blow past their predecessor's numbers.

Other factors, longevity, accessibility, etc. And Uncharted is like the fourth or fifth biggest IP on the PS3. God Of War is big as well. But sometimes, a game has limited potential, regardless of marketing.

the later it releases the worst it will end up cause the gen is at a end

if it releases this fall then i believe 2M before the year ends with at LT of 4-5M



lol M rating doesnt lower sales if anything it gains them what would lower sales for it is its yet to be seen gameplay


im pretty sure there will be MP as most games have them now, and dont think it will be limited to horde
